Default Anxious about New Bars (WO572)

I ordered Wild1's 14" Apes... They are due to be delivered Friday Night...

I stripped my Road King down to prepare... I just did all my wire extentions using Johnny Vaughns Kit...

How has everyone used his kit??? I did it as the instructions say but I am worried about the connections comming apart... They don't lock together... If they do start comming apart while being pulled through the bars I will end up snipping and soddering... Hope that can be avoided...

Now for my next question... I am going to internally wire the bars... This is my first set of internally wired bars ever... The wire on the switch housing comes out the side... Is that correct or do I need a new switch housing that the wire comes out the bottom???

The only part of this whole install that I am worried about is prob the most important thing... The Brake Line... Any insite would be greatly appreciated...

As you can see my mind is all over in this project... I can't wait to get her done so hopefully I can ride in COMFORT...

THANKS for listening to my rambling...

RON
